The Resin Radial Flow Numerical Simulation in Dual-Scale Porous Fibre Media at Constant Pressure

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, setting up a mathematical model about LCM process based on the theory, which contains a sink term in the mass balance equation of the fluid dynamics. In two-dimensional mold, the finite element/control volume method is used to simulate the flow front and pressure distribution of the flowing resin in single-scale and dual-scale porous media at constant pressure.
